kinkajous: hidden lines
Francisco Espregueira
Released last friday through Nottingham-based label Running Circle, Hidden Lines is a sonic voyage into the world’s invisible echoes, reflecting through memory and experience. The cosmic quintet Kinkajous provides us a magnificent debut album and a transcendental exploration of sound and time, invoking an array of influences, an array of experiences.
Blending a complex mix of tonalities and backgrounds, Kinkajous deliver their collective - and individual - virtuosity, with an unique exploration of sounds that can be attached to a wide spectrum of genres - from orchestral, to jazz, to world, to electronic. Not surprisingly, Hidden Lines has received immediate praise. Through the nine refined compositions, best enjoyed when played together, you’ll find one of the best breakthrough acts of 2019. Available on vinyl - to keep our cosmic trips very close to us.

Adrien Cau – Tenor Saxophone/Bass Clarinet; Benoît Parmentier – Drums/ Production; Andres Castellanos – Bass; Jack Doherty – Synths; Maria Chiara Argirò – Keys”
